THE ATHENS { (1J ! < ■? GEORGIAN: s * 8V[M HTA ■ ilH i J..UEX,1^,1877. AN ADDRESS. ( *’ . -J ill/ V] , ... To the Patrons and Students > of Rabun Gap High School by MISS A. V. M’PHRRGO*.. I shall divide*my remarks on this occJis on into three parts, and address them directly to three elements of this intelligent and interesting audience. iFiist, I shall address the parents who have children to educate, second. I shall address the advanced-students, and third, the primary students of the •school. :I ask, first, the special atten tion of parents. Do you feel interested 3n the welfare and educational pros- -■peritv of vour children* and hope, ere long, to see them rise to distiction, and plaeo their names conspicuously upon the roll of inmo and honor? -Or are you careless as to whether they ever become piomoters of progress tootu- countty, and useful members of soci ety? «T. can not think that t here is a 1 single man within these walls .today, that does not wish his sons and daugh ters to become, popular and useful in the work!A 'Blit, I next ask. hmv’ftre they to become so? Give them every advantage for procuring an education j »f jhese means, that lies within your power, and he particular not to neglect your daugh ter’s education. It is too often that we hear men crying down female ed ucation. They say, “ What is the use of sending girls to school so much ? Thev soon marry—throw aside their than-those gone to school.’* I am free to acknowledge that too many of mv sex do, after leaving school and marrying, throw aside book?, for which I believe there are causes not to be attributed to education, hut to a de ficiency in both the manner in which a oulty that then ro-e before you, but which you have been" enabled by the bid of/our kind-preoeptortoWmount ind level with the plain, ami you now fiud your feet set onward in the direc tion of the “Hill of Science” I, as your friend, would warn you not to .-top here, aud content yourselves with beholding the laurels already won, but let your motto be “ Onward, ever On ward.” After leaving your seats in this Academy (as perhaps some of yon will do to-day never to resume them) dotft think that because you have gone through your course here, you are per fect, and need not devote any to your books and the further improvement of your minds, but make them your constant companions during leisure hours, and try to steadily and contin ually improve in knowledge. Your teacher has often told you that here Little as you think /? It now,tj»e future if ogress aii<| Wel&re rtf" yopr country depends .entirety upon you, the rising generation; and now is the proper season to lay the foundation for that great work. Let me entreat you to prepare your hearts, as well as your minds for that great task of beooming an honored and trusted citizen of our great country. Youth is the time to form right principles of truthfulness and piety, while the heart is tender, and easy to yield to gospel tidings, for in after years it becomes cold and dormant to these influences. So arm yourselves with this armor, that you may take the places of your father and mothers, and do much honor, not only to there names, but to yourselves.

It is too often the case that we see voting gentlemen and ladies come away from college, in dying colors, receiving their diplomas, medals of honor, etc., but here they too often stop and conteul themselves with the name of lionois, and do not try to maiqUin a genuine knowledge of what they profess.

But T shall not stop to dis cuss these points now. Suffice it to say that whatever knowledge has been gained is not entirely lost, but does exert a most salutary influence over 1 learned run away with their children in after years, in the judgment and common and become subject of derision by tbe people. It lias b en wisely re marked thou “a little learning is a dangerous thing,” so let us beware not to let what we have already our better sense, but ptrive to add to our store of knowledge. The greatest men and women of all ages are those who con stantly apply themselves to rigorous study; try, try to dive deeper into the depths of science, which they have never yet been permitted to reach. But believing you are all se riously interested, and are striving to obtain an education, and have already advanced sufficiently to satisfy your selves of the great pleasure and beue- improper in manners, j fit to be derived from it, l will now in sayings, hold on to ! tender to yon, one and all, my many formation of mind and character, for we notice their children are generally more polite and polished in manners and possess minds more easily culti vated, while those children whose mothers have no education may train them in paths of truthfulness and honesty, still there is a void in both mind and character that is very diffi cult to till llow often do we see boys and girls, after they have grown old enough to know what is and incorrect the old homely expressions of their infancy just because ma still uses them. We should remember, *' ’Tis education forms the common mind, Jnst as the twig ia baut the tree’s inclined, * therefore dp uot neglect your daugh ters’ education, for that is a matter of vital importance. If you wish your children to be | distinguished and useful, strive to give them an education, for when they are ouce in possession of this, there is nothing they would take in exchange for it, and we are sure it can never be taken from them. You may labor and toil all the days of your life to accumulate property for them, aud then lie down and dio leav ing them to disgrace your memory by their contentions and bickerings over your wealth, while on the other hand, if you will spend all you can to'im- prove their minds, they will reverence and honor your name, and when your ashes lie cold and silent in the grave, they will rise .up and call you blessed GHazles Stem, Popular Clothing Emporium, Broad street, Athena, Gs.
